I've been using one for years, and its incredibly helpful, particularly in the winter months when the days are shorter and the sun shine is less frequent. Starting about Sept, my pdoc has me increase to an hour first thing in the a.m. (I keep one at work and one at home), half hour during the sunnier parts of the year if i need the boost. it gives you the same mood boost a sunny day does. During depressive states, I can add a half hour in the afternoon if i feel the need. The original investment is kind of expensive, but the bulbs last for years. Mine was bought from a company called the Sun Box Inc.

I have been using one for years now. I was skeptical at first and could not afford one. They USED to be very expensive.
They really work and are affordable. I git mine from a company called Apollo, just google, balanced spectrum lighting or full spectrum lighting.
I think you can even buy them from retailers now.
